Default Asfordby to be used to test air conditioned tube trains

Surely using energy to pump heat out of the trains into the tunnels will
just increase the temperature there. Has a solution to the problem of
cooling the system as a whole been found? I have heard groundwater
mentioned as a possible heat sink but building and running a full system
would be horribly expensive.


Sub-surface stock (Met/District/Circle/H&C) will be air-conditioned. Tube
stock will only have air-conditioning in the driver's cabs. Trials of
groundwater colling are being carried out at Victoria.
